The Magnetic Emperor began leading Gotham toward justice.

"Good lad, I've known for a long time that you have potential!"

Gordon was taken aback by Bai Lang's words and began to re-examine the young man in front of him.

He nodded and smiled, "Then I'll leave Gotham to you and all the police officers who are staying in Gotham for the next few nights."

Ryan soon joined Judith and the others in Chief Gordon's police car and headed to Arkham Island.

White Wave stayed behind to guard Gotham City for the next few nights.

Chapter 38 Drug D Paralyzes the Hungry Night Raven Gang

Bai Lang knew very well that it was the Court of Owls that wanted to assassinate Dr. Arkham.

According to the comic book storyline, it's highly likely that Batman, Bruce Wayne, will be the one to save the other person.

While significant events certainly occurred at Arkham Asylum during this period, who can say that nothing happened in Gotham?

If you go with him and he protects Dr. Arkham well, your ability points will naturally increase.

But what about Gotham?

The police and Batman will have to stay on Arkham Island to protect Dr. Arkham for at least several days.

These days, Gotham is left unattended; who knows what might happen?

Compared to Arkham Island, Gotham City is clearly the most important place.

Ryan, Judith, and others accompanied Commissioner Gordon and his team to guard Arkham Island.

The police station, which originally had about twenty people, was suddenly empty, leaving only Bai Lang and Chief Edward.

As usual, Bai Lang came to the training ground to exercise.

The wind from the punches danced wildly, and terrifying electric currents carrying strands of gold flowed across Bai Lang's body.

The powerful figure, radiating a terrifying aura, swung his body continuously, leaving countless afterimages.

"Phew..." Bai Lang let out a long sigh of relief.

The terrifying electric current was completely contained by the robust body, and even the sweat that seeped out was instantly evaporated by this powerful lightning.

After resting for a while, he left the training ground, put on his white uniform, and went to Park Street to investigate the gang called Night Raven.

Park Street is a relatively dilapidated area in Gotham, close to New Town, with a depressed economy and frequent criminal activity.

Bai Lang drove a police car along Park Street.

It seems that because of Crime Alley's notoriety, there are relatively few pedestrians around.

A few scattered passersby quickly dodged the police car and hurried away from the area.

They were afraid they would become innocent victims of a shootout between criminals and police.

The road was mostly filled with groups of people gathered together, or a few drug addicts loitering around.

Bai Lang arrived at the alley that Judith had mentioned yesterday.

Looking through the car window, he could see several thin white men squatting in the corner, their eyes occasionally glancing at the luxury cars outside.

Bai Lang noticed that the men's clothes were filthy and their hair was disheveled.

Their faces were unnaturally pale, their eyes were sunken, and their dark circles made them look like pandas.

There was even a foul odor carried on the breeze.

He got out of the car and walked up to the group of white men.

Do you know of a small gang called Night Raven around here?

Upon seeing the police questioning them, the white man in the lead stood up, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Which police unit are you from? What do you want with the Night Raven Gang?"

Bai Lang frowned as he looked at them.

He could tell that the group of white men had recently used drugs and looked like a bunch of addicts.

“My name is Bai Lang, and I’m the sheriff in charge of this area. Didn’t your Night Raven boss want to discuss cooperation with my subordinates?”

He didn't have a good impression of drug addicts.

After all, this stuff is like gambling; once you've gotten a little hooked, quitting is incredibly difficult.

The thin, white man at the head of the group nodded; he seemed somewhat dazed.

"Oh, I see. Do you have any money?"

"What do you need money for?" Bai Lang frowned.

"Nothing much, just buying some drugs," the gaunt white man replied with a forced smile.

"Take me to see your boss, and you'll get paid."

Seeing that Bai Lang was tall and strong, the white man could only nod, then turned around and led Bai Lang into the alley.

Bai Lang followed behind him, wanting to find a topic to chat about, but the other person kept talking about D-grade drugs or planning to steal some rich person's luxury car.

This left him completely at a loss for topics to discuss.

"I remember your leader's name is Eli. What kind of person is he?" Bai Lang asked casually.

"Oh, you mean Eli? Boss Eli was captured by Batman last night, and our Night Raven Gang replaced him with a new leader overnight."

The white man carefully placed a green US dollar bill into his back pocket with both hands.

"The new boss?" Bai Lang asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard the white man point ahead.

"We've arrived. That's our new boss."

Bai Lang turned his head and looked down along the arm.

Then I saw a woman with pigtails at the end of the alley, carrying a baseball bat on her shoulder, sitting under the shade of a tree smoking with a worried look on her face.

It was Harley Quinn, whom I had met before.

Bai Lang walked over with some surprise.

"Harley, how did you become the leader of the Night Ravens?"

Harley's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Hearing Bai Lang's words, she immediately came to her senses.

"Chief Bai Lang? Wow! It really is you!"

"Did you come here to ask me to blow up Gotham with you?"

She excitedly ran up to Bai Lang, like a little girl of about ten years old.

"After listening to what you said, I started to change myself and tried to return to a normal life."

"I originally wanted to work as a waiter in a restaurant to make a living, but I found that many people in that restaurant had ill intentions towards me."

"So I quit my job and kicked that fat boss Dick out of the house. Then I was pulled into a small gang and became the new boss yesterday."

Harley Quinn's face lit up with excitement, as if a lot had happened during this time.

Like a child, she had so much to say to Bai Lang.

"Uh...so, you're the new boss of Night Raven now?" Bai Lang looked at her uncertainly.

It seems that Harley Quinn has changed quite a bit during this time.

"Of course that's right."

Harley nodded excitedly, but then her face fell as if she had thought of something troublesome.

"Where is your base? Your former gang leader approached my men to discuss a partnership."

Upon hearing this, Harley stood up and gestured for Bai Lang to follow her deeper into the alley.

The alley was very narrow, only one meter wide, so the two could only walk forward one after the other.

After turning three corners, Harley led White Wave to an unfinished building. In front of the unfinished building, in an open space, was the Night Raven Gang's base.

Bai Lang gazed at this place, the question that he subconsciously wanted to ask due to his memories of his past life automatically blocked out in his mind.

Why not move into an unfinished building?

Please, if we get caught, we'll have to pay taxes.

If I don't have money, can I skip paying taxes?

If you don't pay taxes, your body won't be yours anymore...

He shook his head and looked at the open space.

It's called an open space, but to be precise, it's a garbage dump.

The open space wasn't large, only about 100 square meters, but it was home to about a dozen tents of various sizes and colors.

The area next to the tent was piled high with all sorts of household garbage: bread bags, plastic bags, charred plastic, peeling sofa fabric...

Bai Lang even saw some glass shards that looked like D-grade storage containers, as well as rusted needle syringes.

Coughs and shouts echoed from inside the tent, creating a scene resembling a living hell.

Several people lay on the ground, staring wide-eyed at the sky, seemingly wondering why things had turned out this way.

Another gaunt-faced man injected himself with drug D into his vein using a rusty needle syringe, and then handed it to another skinny little boy.

Everyone's face was blank, as if Gotham had forgotten them.

“This is it.” Harley Quinn’s head ached at the sight of the mess.

"Sister Harley."

In the crowd, a six-year-old girl spotted Harley and stumbled over to her.

"Melina, are you hungry? It's okay, you'll have something to eat soon..."

Harley picked up the little girl and explained to Bai Lang beside her, "They call it a gang, but to be more accurate, Night Raven should actually be called a refugee camp."

"Because of the economic recession, many people could not find work or go hungry, so Eli gathered them together, and occasionally someone would be able to steal something to sell for money."
